About Aplus Text to Speech (archived)

Aplus Text to Speech from Aplus Software converted text content into WAV audio files. It let you listen to Microsoft Word documents with one click, listen directly to text on web pages, the clipboard and text documents, batch-convert text files to WAV audio files, and even make your computer speak the time.

The text-to-voice program could read many kinds of text – PDF, e-books, web pages, news, Word, Excel, HTML, RSS feeds, clipboard text, RTF files, plain text, email and more – converting them into audio speech files and playing them back. Web pages could be turned into audio files to play in any media player.

The tool could read and speak most common document types – text, PDF, RTF, Microsoft Word, Excel, web documents (HTML, XML and others) – with a clear, natural-sounding voice. You could have documents read aloud, or convert them into WAV files to listen to anytime and anywhere: just open a document and click the speak button. Documents could be spoken in your native language, depending on the voices installed.

Status: the developer's domain (aplussofts.com) is now listed for sale on HugeDomains, so the program is no longer offered.
